How to Modify the Project Skin in Adobe Captivate

Modify the Project Skin

A project's skin refers to the appearance of a project's playback controls, border, and table of contents. You can customize the appearance and layout of these to change the appearance and functionality of your project.

Open the Skin Editor

  1. Click Project on the menu bar.
  2. Select Skin Editor.
    Open the Skin Editor

The skin editor opens, showing a preview of how the project will look with its current playback controls and border.

You can select a skin theme from the menu, or set up your own and save it for later use.

Edit the Playback Controls

  2. Edit the playback controls settings.

You can also choose a design theme for the playback controls bar, or just edit the colors on your own.

Next, you can control the position and layout of the controls bar using these menus.
